Government Conspiracy

The JoonAng Daily did a decent article regarding the censorship. The Korea Herald was supposed to print Shawn's letter to the editor today, but I can't find it on their website.

The guy at Hunjangûi karûch'im (who seems to know Korean nearly perfectly) has been in contact with a Korean lawmaker, Chung Moon-hun, to ask for help with the censorship. Apparently the representative (I wonder how old he is?) is sympathetic to the internet and its many uses--in the past he tried to legalize internet contact with North Korea. The blogger also sent something to the Science, Technology and Communications Committee.

The Big Hominid has been in contact with a reporter at a major Korean newspaper. The reporter is digging up some really interesting things, among them the fact that some MIC officials are denying that any government censorship is going on!! They're blaming the blogging services and/or the ISPs. Yeah, right! Another MIC official admitted their involvement and when asked why the current video led to the block but the American beheading video was OK to see, he said that it's different to see a Korean killed than a foreigner. What racism!!
